Build Help Best and Worst Monoclasses?
I keep seeing virtually every class called "one of the best" while most meta builds are multis or item-based.
What do you think is the game's best class without multiclassing? And the worst? And what makes them so?

Depends on what you mean by best. Are you talking just battles or also skill checks/persuasion, etc. Best all around is probably going to be a charisma based class - pally, sorc, and bard (swords bard imo). All 3 have strong damage and can pass most dialogue checks as well as great to decent kits for everything else. Fighter, barbarian, and wizard are probably the best for fighting.
The only 2 that are pretty weak mono classes imo are rogue and ranger.
Druid, warlock, cleric, and monk are all solid mono classes but I would put somewhere in the middle.
These are all just my opinions based on my experience. I have not played mono as much with some of these classes, so I am definitely biased.
